   I am a member of a group of postgraduate students at the
University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne researching in the area of WMS. We
are looking at the ergonomic aspects with a view to implementing a
generic system across a wide range of workstations. Some combinations
examined so far are:

        Sun with Suntools, X (with xnwm, uwm, xwm)
        Xerox with Viewpoint, XDE, Bridge, Interlisp
        Perq with PNX-WMS, Flex
        Whitechapel with Oriel
        Blit with Rob Pike's window manager

   We are interested to hear from anyone who knows of comparative
studies in this field, possibly including evaluation criteria, as our
literature search has been disappointing in this regard.

   If you are interested in our work and would like a copy of our
final report, or have any comments, please contact me through e-mail
at the address below. We would be grateful for any information
received, and will summarise to comp.windows.x.

                                Paul Davison.
